Well, it stops any salt bleed or whatever, and you can change colours

We found if we use crusher dust that the moisture goes away quicker & they dry out quicker & you don't get so much deteriation. (Spell checker goes cranky at that word! Ray?)
I think T1 calls it roadbase or something? They're a bit diff over there!!!

Bruce,
It sometimes takes me a while to catch up here... busy packing.

The word is 'deterioration'...
Maybe if you got a spell-checker with an option for UK or Australian spelling???

Bluddy Yanks!

(Actually, they spell it the same way. What you need is a spell-checker with a 'guess-ometer'... )

Dot,
We have the same problem in our garage. A crack in the floor appeared within weeks of moving in.

After 24 years it's still bringing up salt from the soil. We've tried everything... given up now.

WHEN we sell here we shall either spray paint the whole area or cover with gravel. Went to inspect a "lifestyle village" yesterday and they are already having the same problems with their pavers, less than 12mths old

Dot, Just for a laugh try giving them a scrub with bleach or swimming pool chlorine. It won't cure the salt leaching problem, but it should make it go away for a while.

Just had a laugh at that David, Q/ when will you be down to scrub them for us??

Try bi- carb in very hot water Dot.

Stop looking at them, Dot. I'll bet a survey of visitors to your "caravan park" would prove that nobody noticed.

When you crawl around on your hands and knees for some time you really do notice such things
